Good rest.

This was one of our best trips to Mabalingwe. A lot of animals visited us every day and we enjoyed the location of the house.

Genoeg spasie en die diere kom kuier gereeld!

Ja, het lekker gebly! Sal net spieëls in slaapkamers voorstel aangesien dit so ruim is. Een kamer het egter 'n spieeltafel gehad en ons almal het daar ons hare geblaas.

Enough space and the animals come to visit often!

Yes, had a nice stay! Would only suggest mirrors in bedrooms as they are so spacious. However, one room had a dressing table and we all blew our hair there.

Stay was nice until the wildfire ruined the trip and we couldn't do anything that we planned to do.

Never used even a single facility from the lodge. The recommended place when we evacuated because of the fire was not up to standard and none of us liked it.

Paradise Lodge Safari 's response

Stevens Shibambo; Your comment is very unfair and very unsensitive as this fire was a national disaster, you did sleep in our lodge on the 23 of September and used the outside braai facility and the inside, only on your last day you have to evacuate and I paid you in full for the accommodation of your own choosing.

Baie lekker.

Ons was 'n groep van 8 volwassenes. Het baie lekker gebly. Baie ruim huis en slaapkamers. Nie seker hoe dit ander tye van die jaar is nie, maar die laatmiddagson het ons uitgebak; so van 3 uur af kon mens glad nie op die stoep sit nie. Was net te warm, met die son wat direk daar inskyn. Ons was gelukkig om 2 aande deur olifante besoek te word. Huis het alles wat nodig is.

Very nice.

We were a group of 8 adults. Had a great stay. Very spacious house and bedrooms. Not sure what it's like at other times of the year, but the late afternoon sun baked us out; so from 3 o'clock you could not sit on the stoep at all. Was just too hot, with the sun shining directly in there. We were lucky to be visited by elephants on 2 nights. House has everything needed.

Ons het as 'n groepie familie (7), die paar dae by Paradise Lodge terdeë geniet. Dit was alles waarvoor ons gehoop het en nog meer.

Die huis is baie mooi ontwerp met 5 en suite-kamers en 'n ruim kombuis en stoep. Paradise Lodge was perfek vir ons doeleindes die naweek. Ons het die ryk voëllewe en die wild wat tot by die huis kom baie geniet en waardeer. Ons sal enige tyd weer daar bespreek.

Wonderful bush escape.

We had the most amazing time at Paradise Lodge. There is ample room, each bedroom is en suite and most have an additional single bed in the room making it convenient for families. The house was in immaculate condition with more than enough cutlery and crockery. And the hosts were extremely prompt when messaged during the stay which we appreciated. We will definitely be back!

Daar was alles wat mens ooit sal nodig kry en die plek is pragtig en gerieflik.

Kan net goed praat van die woning - dit is luuks genoeg om jou nie te laat terug verlang huistoe nie, lekker ruim en volledig toegerus. Wasmajien, skottelgoedwasser en al die ander gewone huishoudelike toestelle was beskikbaar. Wildlewe om die lodge was onder andere, vlakvarke, bosvarke, muskeljaatkat, koedoes en verskeie voëlsoorte. Het dit baie geniet en kan dit ten volle aanbeveel.

Can only speak highly of the home - it's luxurious enough not to make you want to go back home, nice and spacious and fully equipped. Washing machine, dishwasher and all the other usual household appliances were available. Wildlife around the lodge included warthogs, wild boars, muskellunge cats, kudus and various bird species. Really enjoyed it and can fully recommend it.

'n Besonderse mooi huis met puik geriewe en die ongelooflikste uitsig.

Wat 'n ongelooflike plek om na weg te breek saam met familie of vriende. Pragtige sonsondergange oor die bosveld terwyl mens rustig op die stoep of om die boma sit met allerlei bokke en vlakvarke wat op jou voorstoep kom kuier. Ruim kamers en leefareas, voel nie eers of ons 10 mense is wat in dieselfde huis gebly het nie. By ver my verwagtinge oortref. Vriendelike diens en top klas geriewe. Sal Paradise Lodge vir enige iemand kan voorstel.

What an amazing place to break away to with family or friends. Beautiful sunsets over the woodland while you sit quietly on the stoep or around the boma with all kinds of goats and warthogs that come to visit on your front stoop. Spacious rooms and living areas, didn't even feel like we were 10 people staying in the same house. By far exceeded my expectations. Friendly service and top class facilities. Would recommend Paradise Lodge to anyone.

We had a perfect memory making experience at Paradise Lodge.

Our children came for the first time in 7 years with our grandchildren to South Africa. We wanted them to have a bush experience. And it was absolutely magic at Paradise Lodge and Mabalingwe. The house is spacious and luxurious. We lived on the verandas and the animals that came to visit were more than we could wish for. The private swimming pool was absolutely a blissful necessity. And the sun seeking Londoners loved every minute of our stay. Thank you Leen for your personal involvement with our booking and our stay. It was worth it. Lasting experience of a lifetime.

Once in a lifetime experience full of adventure.

Our stay as a family started off with a warm welcome by friendly guards and was completely hassle free. Once we had navigated our way to our beautiful home we where received by a family of warthogs. This came as a pleasant surprise as we had read before we booked, that it's possible to see them around the yard. The house is spacious and is equipped with all the utensils you could possibly need. It is perfectly situated with breath-taking views of the landscape, animals and your neighbours are nearby which is reassuring. Later on in our stay we realised that we had a herd of impala's, the warthogs and meerkat that stayed around the house at night. Our stay was wonderfully tranquil with the sounds of birds. Our favourite part was the ability to choose to take drive around the game reserve on our own or to go on a game drive. We did both. You need to have a vehicle that can handle the terrain but other than that driving was an adventure filled with excitement and we even ended up in the middle of a herd of giraffe of which no words can explain!

Dit was so lekker naweek gewees. Die huis is mooi skoon, groot en toegerus met alles wat ons nodig gehad het! Die meubels en dekor is alles so mooi gepas en alles was net lekker en gemaklik. Dit is ook groot genoeg vir 'n groot groep en mens is nie heeltyd in mekaar se pad nie. Kan nie wag sodat ons weer kan kom kuier nie! Die diere het ons ook verras in die oggende en laat middae wanner hulle nuuskierig kom kyk het wat aangaan. Leen was ook baie behulpsaam en alle inligting is deur gestuur na ons vroegtydig!

It was such a nice weekend. The house is nice and clean, big and equipped with everything we needed! The furniture and decor are all so beautifully matched and everything was just nice and comfortable. It is also big enough for a large group and you are not in each other's way all the time. Can't wait for us to visit again! The animals also surprised us in the mornings and late afternoons when they curiously came to see what was going on. Leen was also very helpful and all information was sent to us in good time! Thanks Leen, can't wait until we visit again.

Awesome!

Ons het die naweek baie geniet! Paradise Lodge was 'n netjiese ruim huis en kan dit aanbeveel vir 'n groep van 10 mense.

Spectacular place!

It was a beautiful house with an even better view! Everything was well looked after and works perfectly. We all thoroughly enjoyed the place and we will most definitely go back for our next Lads weekend! I highly recommend this place to anyone! Best part is having warthogs around the house all day! It was worth every cent!

Paradys vir vier dae!

Ons familie van 8, twee tieners van 14 en 17 ingesluit, kon nie beskikbare verblyf met 'n swembad by die kus opspoor nie oor die Kerstyd nie. Ons besluit toe op die binneland en is nie vir een oomblik spyt nie. Die rustigste omgewing van Mabalingwe naby Bela-Bela was die keuse. Die ligging van die huis het uitsig 'vir altyd' van enige plek in die huis, gekoppel aan sonsondergange, letterlike elke aand, wat jy nie die reg kan aandoen om met 'n kamera te probeer vaslê nie. Die huis self is ongelooflik ruim met die 5 slaapkamers, almal en suite en die leefareas groot genoeg om wegkruipertjie te speel. Al die nodige geriewe is daar, skottelgoedwasser ingesluit, alhoewel ek nie dink daar was 'n wasmasjien wat ek kon sien nie. Ons was net daar vir 4 nagte, so dit was nie regtig nodig nie. Sal baie graag wil teruggaan en het alreeds die huis aan ander familielede aanbeveel! Die wilde diere wat tot by die huis kom, meestal vlakvarke, bobbejane, ens. regdeur die dag, verdien 'n spesiale plekkie. Ons het 'n hele 10 kg sak wortels vir die vlakvarke gekoop in Bela. Ons was selfs meer verras deur 'n besoek van 'n njalaram wat in die donker tot reg by ons gestap het vir 'n wortel toe ons een aand nog in die donker gesit het na 'n braai. Jy kan nie glo wildsbokke kan so mak raak nie! Wonderlike, kalmerende paradys in die Bosveld!

Paradise for four days!

Our family of 8, including two teenagers aged 14 and 17, could not locate available accommodation with a swimming pool on the coast over the Christmas period. We then decided on the interior and did not regret it for a moment. The most peaceful area of Mabalingwe near Bela-Bela was the choice. The location of the house has views 'forever' from anywhere in the house, coupled with sunsets, literally every night, that you cannot do justice to trying to capture with a camera. The house itself is incredibly spacious with the 5 bedrooms, all en suite and the living areas big enough to play hide and seek. All the necessary amenities are there, including a dishwasher, although I don't think there was a washing machine that I could see. We were only there for 4 nights, so it wasn't really necessary. Would love to go back and have already recommended the house to other family members! The wild animals that come to the house, mostly warthogs, baboons, etc. throughout the day, deserves a special place. We bought a whole 10 kg bag of carrots for the warthogs in Bela. We were even more surprised by a visit from a nyalaram who walked right up to us in the dark for a carrot when we were still sitting in the dark one evening after a braai. You can't believe antelopes can become so tame! Wonderful, calming paradise in the Bushveld!

Verskriklik lekker!

Ons het baie lekker gebly in die pragtige huis! Die kamers is ruim en daar is oorgenoeg plek vir drie families en kinders. Leen was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik! Dis regtig goeie waarde vir geld!

Lieflike plek.

Dis 'n lieflike, moderne, groot leefhuis. Ruim vertrekke met letterlik alles wat jy nodig het. Ons het net die eerste dag 'n waterprobleem ondervind wat dinge bietjie bederf het. Alles was skoon en netjies.

Lovely place.

It's a lovely, modern, large living house. Spacious rooms with literally everything you need. We only had a water problem on the first day which spoiled things a bit. Everything was clean and tidy.

Hi Annette, ek is baie jammer om dit te hoor, die Olifante trek patykeer die water pype uit die grond, maar dit was darem, vinnig uit gesorteer.

Pragtige plek en baie potensiaal.

Pragtige nuut geboude plek. Groot kamers en pragtige uitsig. Ons was bietjie ongelukkig omrede ons die spesifieke plek bespreek het vir die en suite-badkamers van elke kamer, en ongelukkig het net twee badkamers water gehad, so ons moes 10 groot mense 2 badkamers deel. Eienaar se foon was af toe ons skakel, en het glad nie op my email reageer wat ek gestuur het na die naweek nie. Vir die prys wat ons betaal, verwag mens tog dat mens kry wat belowe word. Maar andersins het ons lekker gebly. As die probleme opgelos word, sal ons dit aanbeveel.

Beautiful place with loads of potential.

Beautiful, newly built place. Large rooms and lovely views. We were a bit disappointed because we specifically booked because of the en suite bathroom in each bedroom. Unfortunately only two of the bathrooms had water, so 10 people had to use 2 bathrooms. The owner's phone was switched off when we tried to call him and he didn't reply to my email. For the price you pay, you'd expect to be given what you've been promised. Otherwise we had an enjoyable stay. If the mentioned problems could be solved, we'd definitely recommend Paradise Lodge.

Paradise Lodge Safari 's response

Hi Jana
Ek sien nou eers hoe hierdie resensie werk, dis nog nuut vir my, ek is vreeslik jammer oor die nie water in boonste badkamers, toe ek jou boodskap sien op my tel (eers die volgende dag) het ek jou gebel en direk die skoonmakers gebel om die probleem uit te sorteer, dit was blykbaar Mabalingwe se water toevoer wat foutief was, sodat die drukpomp nie die water tot bo kon pomp nie.
Ek het vir die een of ander rede, jou e-mail nie ontvang nie.

Ek wil graag vir die ongerief vergoed en jou 50% afslag gee, vir volgende keer
Kontak my gerus water maand julle sal pas.

Groetnis
Leen
